Josh Johnson of Out the Door Rent-to-Own, is a one store dealer who brought all three of his managers to the 2008 Midwest Training Expo September 9 and 10 in Columbus, Ohio.

Johnson -- a second year Expo attendee -- said he made the nine hour drive from Cadillac, Michigan for the unbeatable training and networking opportunities offered at the show.

He is working to re-invigorate the Michigan Rental Dealers Association and found inspiration in meetings with APRO President "Tiger" John Cleek, Ohio Rental Dealers Association President Mike Tissot and over a dozen fellow Michigan dealers who attended the show.
